Shirt Numbers

[TigerVengeance]

Going back to our 2-0 victory over Swansea we can really see how the team has changed over a short period of time.

The team that played all had relatively low squad numbers:

01 Duke
02 Zayatte
03 Dawson
06 Gardner
04 Ashbee
11 Kilbane
12 Bostock
14 Cairney
19 Atkinson
24 Solano
07 Garcia

Subs:

13 Oxley
05 McShane
15 Olofinjana
18 Barmby
20 Devitt
21 Cullen
23 Cousin

Injured? 08 Harper, 09 Folan, 10 ***an.

Just prioritising numbers 1-11 hence no Bullard etc.

Then compare it to the team that started against Ipswich:

34 Guzan
03 Dawson
16 Chester
25 Gerrard
30 Rosenior
22 Koren
28 Corry Evans
32 Stewart
37 Belaid
12 Fryatt
33 Mclean

Only Dawson has a shirt number less than 11, this shows how much the team has evolved.

I read on the BBC website that NP has used the most players out of any manager in the Championship.

My question being, at the start of next season which numbers (1-11) would you like to see allocated to the players? (It doesn't have to be a full starting line up.)

01 - Mannone/Guzan (assuming we get one in the summer)
02 - Rosenior
03 - Dawson
04 - Hobbs/Cooper
05 - Gerrard/Mcshane (if we sign Gerrard, I think itll be him or Hobbs)
06 - Chester
07 - Stewart
08 - Harper
09 - Mclean
10 - Fryatt
11 - Koren

I think we'd have to see which players come in in the summer. Of the ones we have now I'd like to see 1. Mannone. 2.Rosy. 3.Dawson. 5.Gerrard. 6.Chester. 7.Koren. 4.Devitt. 11.Stewart. 9.Mclean. 10.Fryatt. 8.Barmby

 

[Tigers piss on weeds]

Youve gotta give Fryatt number 9, then again I cant justify my decision apart from hes my favourite striker. How was Fryatt against Ipswich, any1 know? Havent heard his name mentioned that much recently.

Never really got enough service from midfield, so of course going to struggle but he'll have better days.

 

[Tigers piss on weeds]

Yea lets hope so, Harpers back in training isnt he but im still not too sure about him. Why dont they think of switching Koren to CM during the game with Evans, then again Evans tracks back a little more but cant see it harmpering the game too much during play.

 

[MattTheTiger]

I'd personally like to retire the number 4 shirt for a while but its never gonna happen :/

 

[PLT]

1 Mannone
2 Rosenior
3 Dawson
4 Evans (if he stays)
5 Gerrard (Assuming he stays and McShane leaves)
6 Chester (Assuming Gardner leaves)
7 Koren
8 will still be Harper
9 McLean
10 Fryatt
11 Stewart

On top of that Belaid, Bullard (if he stays) and Guzan (if he stays) will probably deserve lower numbers than present.

So to conclude we have absolutely no idea until we have an indication to whose loans will be made permanent.

Your forgetting olofinjana and mcshane who could also stay and would need numbers

And gerrard will only stay if cardiff dont get promoted methinks.

Olofinjana currently has shirt 15 and I only went up to 11. I haven't forgotten McShane at all. I put on the number 5 shirt that it could only be Gerrard's if McShane leaves and Gerrard signs on a permanent.

Silly.

You also said bullard should get a lower shirt number, I was only throwing in Olofinjanas name as a suggestion for a lower shirt number. Number 8 maybe?
